Product Features

The instrument features Yamaha’s GrandTouch™-E keyboard with escapement, delivering a highly responsive playing experience that closely resembles an acoustic piano. The carefully balanced action allows players to control dynamics and expression with precision, making performances more natural and expressive.

At the heart of the instrument is the sound of Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand piano. Advanced sampling technology captures the depth, clarity, and tonal richness of this world-class instrument, providing a highly realistic and inspiring piano sound.

Authentic Touch and Inspiring Concert Grand Sound

One of the key highlights of this model is the combination of the GrandTouch™-E keyboard and Yamaha’s Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) technology. This system recreates the complex resonance generated by strings, soundboard, and cabinet components of an acoustic piano, producing a more immersive and natural playing experience.

As a result, every note responds dynamically to your touch, allowing greater emotional expression and musical nuance. Whether performing delicate passages or powerful chords, the instrument faithfully translates your intentions into sound.

A specially designed tone escapement diffuser helps distribute sound evenly throughout the room, creating a balanced listening experience for both performers and audiences. The piano maintains exceptional clarity and detail across the entire keyboard range.

The integrated speaker system delivers powerful, rich, and detailed sound without requiring external amplification. From classical repertoire and jazz standards to contemporary music, the instrument provides an engaging and enjoyable playing experience.

Applications

This digital piano is ideal for daily practice, music lessons, technical development, and home performance. Its realistic keyboard action supports the development of proper piano technique, making it an excellent choice for students preparing to transition to acoustic instruments.

Thanks to its headphone connectivity, players can practice at any time without disturbing family members or neighbors. This makes the piano particularly well suited for apartments and shared living spaces.

Built-in Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless audio streaming from smartphones, tablets, and other compatible devices. Users can play along with their favorite songs, practice with backing tracks, or access educational content effortlessly.

Compatibility with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app provides convenient control over instrument settings, sounds, and practice tools. The app also allows users to display PDF sheet music and access additional learning features designed to support musical progress.
